Our Mission

• To win people to Jesus Christ, invite them into fellowship, build them up in their faith, bring glory to God!

Our Community Culture

• We are a connectional church. We are strengthened most by our relationships based on truthfulness and grace.
• We are mission driven. We believe our mission drives everything we do.
• We proclaim a grace that is free. Jesus said the crowning work of authentic ministry is this: when poor have the gospel brought to them. Hence, the destitute and disenfranchised of the world deserve our particular care.
• We strive to make the message of the gospel relevant to our culture by remaining faithful to God while showing love and sensitivity to the world.
• We accept all who come to us, seeing the most desperate sinner with the potential to become a whole and devoted follower of Jesus.
• We see smaller groups and cells within the larger Body of Christ as the best environment for the birth, mentoring, encouragement, and care of new believers.
• We view our local churches as mission outposts. Our pastors are appointed not just to a local congregation and building, but to the evangelization of whole communities, towns, cities.
• We see ourselves as an apostolic movement. We are a "sent" people, charged with the task of reaching new territories and new populations of people with the gospel.
• We are Wesleyan in our doctrine and in our practice. We value the guidance of the scriptures and the consensus of the Church throughout her history.
• We are to be a holy people. Our conduct and our teaching are to reflect the holiness and love of God. We seek nothing less than the healing of mind, body, and soul of all who come under our care.

Our Core Values

• As people of Wesleyan/Arminian persuasion, focused on living holy lives to the glory of God, we will:

• "Love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and love others as much as we love ourselves." (Mark 12:30-31)
• "Go to the people of all nations and make them disciples of Jesus." (Matthew 28:19)

Our Purpose

• To know God and to glorify Him by making Him known.

Our Expected Outcomes

• Every church a worshipping community.
• Every church an enfolding congregation producing discipled, growing, holy people.
• Every church a reproducing congregation.
• Every church regularly reaching the lost for Christ.
• Every church engaged in our world missionary movement.
• Every church seeking justice and showing mercy to the poor and disenfranchised.
• Every church organizing to best accomplish its purpose and mission.
• Every church characterized by intercessory prayer.

Our Non-Negotiables

• We may not live in violation of the Scriptures.
• We may not live in violation of the Articles of Religion, the Constitution, the Membership Covenant, or the Mission of the Free Methodist Church.
• Our pastors may not live in violation of their ordination vows.
• Our leaders may not lead the church in ways which detract or divert from our mission.
